ICE Releases Linked to Logan
No ICE detention facility or Logan County ICE contract was established in the research. ICE appears in the facility map as a possible receiving custody channel, not as a local Logan jail. The first proof of an ICE connection should come from the county or other custodian that transferred the person.
A local criminal case ending does not ensure community release when an immigration detainer or transfer applies. A detainer is a request or notice through which another authority seeks custody. Ask the housing jail for its release or movement sheet, destination, and transfer time. Then check the separate ICE system.
Search ICE Custody Status
The ICE Online Detainee Locator System is the official public search. It covers people currently detained by ICE and some people released from ICE custody within the last 60 days. That 60-day scope is a limit, not a promise that every recent result will display or that the locator preserves a lasting history.
- Use the person’s nine-digit A-number and country of birth when the A-number is known.
- Otherwise search with the exact full name, country of birth, and other fields offered.
- Try confirmed spelling variants when names contain spaces, hyphens, or multiple family names.
- Compare all identifiers before accepting a match.
- Read whether the result concerns current ICE detention or recent release from ICE custody.
- Contact ICE or the named facility for the event date, destination, and full disposition.
The A-number is an immigration file identifier. It is not a Logan booking number, a KDOC number, or a BOP register number. Mixing identifiers can produce a false no-result or a wrong-person match.
ICE 60-Day Release Scope
ICE states that its locator includes current detainees and some people released from ICE custody within the last 60 days. A result inside that window can help identify a recent custody change. It does not explain every condition, legal filing, travel requirement, or later status. Ask the originating office for the exact record.
| Locator outcome | What it can support | What it cannot prove alone |
|---|---|---|
| Current detention result | ICE reports present detention and may identify a facility | The outcome or date of the immigration case |
| Released within 60 days | A recent end to ICE detention | Permanent immigration status or freedom from all legal obligations |
| No result | No matching public locator result at that search | Release, removal, transfer, or absence from every custody system |
| County roster removal | The person left that county roster | Community release rather than an ICE transfer |
Once the 60-day recent-release period passes, a former detainee may no longer be available through the same public query. Preserve the official event record rather than depending on the locator as a permanent archive.
No ICE Locator Result
A no-result screen is not release proof. Identity data may be wrong, the person may use a different recorded name, the A-number may be incomplete, or the person may not fall within the locator’s public scope. The person could also remain with a county jail, USMS, BOP, KDOC, or another custodian.
Return to the last confirmed agency. If Thomas County Jail housed the person after a Logan County arrest, ask Thomas for the movement event and receiving agency. If the record says ICE, obtain the A-number if releasable and contact ICE’s Detention Reporting and Information Line. If the movement sheet names another custodian, use that system instead.
Court records can explain the local criminal disposition, but a Kansas court docket does not replace the immigration custody record. Likewise, Kansas VINE covers participating county jails and expressly excludes KDOC state-prison residents. It is not an ICE locator.
Confirm an ICE Release
A defensible ICE release check uses the county movement record, the ICE locator or agency response, and the relevant legal record. Dates may differ because one source records county departure while another records entry into or release from ICE custody.
- Identify the last county, state, or federal custodian that physically held the person.
- Obtain its movement sheet and confirm whether ICE was the receiving agency.
- Search the official ICE locator with the A-number or exact identity data.
- Call the ICE information line or named facility for the precise custody event.
- Request an existing ICE record if online and phone channels do not resolve the status.
- Keep the local court disposition separate from the immigration custody outcome.
Release from ICE custody can occur under conditions or other immigration processes not fully described by the public locator. Do not convert a short locator label into a legal conclusion. Record the exact wording and ask the responsible office for clarification.
ICE Records Request Fallback
When the locator does not settle the question, request the existing custody or release record from ICE. Include the full name, A-number when known, country of birth, date of birth if available, approximate detention dates, prior housing facility, and the precise record sought. A narrow request helps the agency locate the file.
Useful requested fields include admission date, detention facility, transfer date, releasing office, release date, event type, and destination when publicly releasable. Privacy and law-enforcement limits can restrict disclosure. Ask for segregable portions, meaning parts that can be released after protected material is removed.
The ICE detention information resources describe locator coverage and attorney-access channels. The Detention Reporting and Information Line is 1-888-351-4024. Use it for ICE detention questions, not for an ordinary Logan County bond-out.
Separate ICE From Other Releases
Each custody system has its own public route. Thomas County Jail records local housing and movement. KASPER covers KDOC custody and supervision. BOP covers sentenced federal prisoners. USMS handles many federal pretrial detainees without a public person locator. ICE covers immigration detention and a limited recent-release window.
- County release
- An exit from the housing jail, which may lead to the community or another custodian.
- ICE transfer
- A movement into immigration custody, not community release.
- ICE release
- An end to ICE detention, which does not by itself state the full immigration outcome.
- Removal
- A separate immigration event that should be stated only when an official record uses that term.
No documented Logan ICE facility, county contract, local release schedule, or county-specific ICE archive was found. These limits prevent an invented local route. Verify the actual custodian every time.
Keep a short custody timeline with the county departure, ICE admission when confirmed, locator search date, and ICE release event. This makes clear which office supplied each fact. If two dates differ, ask whether one is a transfer timestamp and the other is the formal end of ICE detention. Do not choose one date merely because it appeared online first.
